## Summary

The procurement covers the supply of black waterproof trousers, plus three-quarter-length high-visibility waterproof jackets and high-visibility waterproof trousers. These are specialist protective garments used as police uniform and waterproof clothing. The buying organisation is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex together with the Police and Crime Commissioners for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk. Four separate call-off agreements cover Cambridgeshire on behalf of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire; Essex; Kent; and Norfolk on behalf of Norfolk and Suffolk. Delivery is associated with Wymondham in Norfolk and the wider East of England. This is a goods requirement for suppliers of uniform, workwear, personal protective clothing or waterproof garments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the BLC0203 framework. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. Cooneen Defence Ltd received the active award on 10 August 2026 for GBP 127,000. The award covers a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2031. The procurement has a single overall value rather than separately stated values for the two clothing lots: Lot 1 is black waterproof trousers, and Lot 2 is three-quarter-length high-visibility waterproof jackets and high-visibility waterproof trousers. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was arranged as four separate call-off agreements for the participating police areas.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for police protective clothing across several eastern and south-eastern forces, with a substantial multi-year requirement covering both standard black waterproof garments and high-visibility waterproof outerwear. A credible future supplier would need reliable manufacture or sourcing of durable waterproof trousers and jackets, consistent sizing and garment quality, and the capacity to support multiple police organisations through separate call-off arrangements. Experience supplying police uniforms, operational workwear or comparable personal protective clothing would strengthen a bid. Suppliers should also be able to meet framework call-off procedures, coordinate deliveries across participating forces and maintain dependable production and fulfilment over a long contract programme. The stated SME suitability indicates that specialist smaller clothing businesses may be able to compete, potentially through appropriate framework participation or partnership arrangements.
